Goal difference could matter.

Regarding the last goal:

If teams are tied on points at the end of the group stage, tiebreakers are used in this order to determine who advances:
1 Goal Differential: The total number of goals scored minus goals conceded across all group matches.
2 Total Goals Scored: The overall number of goals a team has scored.
3 Head-to-Head: The result of the match between the tied teams.
4 Fair Play Points: The fewest indiscipline points (yellow and red cards) accumulated.
5 Drawing of Lots: A random draw by FIFA.

This is the first game under Poch where we had our best players available.

They never even addressed Pulisic in post game. That's pretty lame.

Haha, I wanted to give it the obnoxious American descriptor. Such a sick goal

I love how we dominated Paraguay 4-1 in our opening World Cup game.

It looks pretty good for a stick-on. Per the interwebs he's had a couple of failed transplants so this was his next option.

Dude should probably just own it and shave to a shine but he can't let go.

I just assumed he had a transplant

Unfit. We've rarely had the full team available because of injuries

Although it's impossible to project the knockout round matchups with any confidence under the new system, I saw that the path for the US to go deep would probably be easier if they finish 2nd in the group.

No he said live some time back that it was a piece. And Dempsey hasn't let him forget it either

Lalas is right.
Weston had a great all around game

I agree.

But who didn't have a great game for Americans? Seriously. I'd say half the team played great and the other guys had good games. I don't remember any stinkers out there.

Not having head to head as the #1 tie breaker is stupid.

One hell of a game. At least the best since the 2014 World Cup. But honestly Paraguay is a decent team and that was an absolutely dominant performance. While we wouldn't necessarily be favorites in them, I'd say we have good chances against all but about 5 or 6 teams if we played like that.

That's a style of soccer Americans aren't used to seeing and playing like that consistently will go a lot way towards increasing the sports popularity here.

That's the first time I've ever seen our national team aesthetically look like a European power.

Having just watched these guys look a lot like that vs Senegal and Germany, and then playing like THAT vs Paraguay, I'm stoked about this squad.

Bingo! FC Dallas, Schalke (my German team), and number 8 (Dempsey) so it's been long overdue.

Those dudes were playing with so much confidence- some of the heel kicks and flick ons to combine with each other, through balls where everyone was making the runs they were supposed to be making, anticipating everything to win second balls and step up and intercept balls. I think I expected three points but didn't expect that kind of dominance in possession and creating scoring chances.
